Heal Your Mother Wounds & Build Powerful Relationships
Understanding Mother Wounds & Why It’s Critical To Heal Them
I HELP WOMEN HEAL their “mother wounds” so they can live in peace, empowered, and build powerful relationships.
Through our work together…
I guide women to understand how their “upbringing” shapes their behaviors & why they struggle or have barriers:
in life
in relationships
in business/entrepreneurship
in parenting (when applicable)
in every area of their life
I help/guide women to understand their “relationship” with their mother:
if it’s a secure/healthy or insecure/unhealthy relationship, what this means and what action to take
get clear on the root cause(s) of their recurring (relationship) struggles—where they stem from, why they exist
And if my client is also a mother, I help them understand their “vital role”:
how their upbringing and childhood wounds (negatively) impact the way they are parenting/raising their children
the importance of and how to raise secure/healthy vs. insecure/unhealthy children
and why it’s critical to do everything in their power to raise emotionally resilient and confident children
Your relationship with your mother:
is your first experience of what love feels/looks like
what a relationship is (supposed to) like
what to expect from a relationship
how to show up in a relationship
The type of maternal love and care a woman receives from her mother during her upbringing (and throughout their life)—all childhood needs met or childhood needs unmet—informs how she will feel about herself in relationships and throughout her life.
For example, if a woman is deprived of a “critical childhood need,” such as emotional neglect, this results in a “mother wound:” emotional suppression.
If you were raised with emotional neglect, you were taught to suppress yourself—to not identify, feel, express, and process your emotions—instead ignore, discount and bypass them.
When you are emotionally suppressed, you are unable to be vulnerable with others—get close, let others in.
This results in a recurring struggle (or barrier) in your relationships. And it will continue indefinitely until you identify this wound and heal this wound.
And this “mother wound” will live on forever, impact you throughout your life—until you gain the awareness & heal the wound.
A mother wound will also impact you in all areas of your life—in relationships, our marriage, in business/entrepreneurship, in our own parenting—everywhere.
Symptoms of “unmet” critical childhood needs by your mother:
Insecurities within yourself
Mother doesn’t make you feel unconditionally loved and accepted
Struggle with communication: difficulty speaking up/using your voice; communicating your needs, desires, beliefs, opinions
Struggle with conflict: fear of, or avoid conflict; shut down; ignore; conflict often escalates or is left unresolved
You have difficulty being vulnerable; identifying, feeling, expressing, and processing your emotions
You lack boundaries or have inconsistent boundaries
Identity confusion
People pleasing
Feeling verbally, emotionally, physically suppressed
Never prioritize yourself, are hard on yourself: lack self-confidence, self-prioritization, self-acceptance/approval, self-love, self-compassion
Self-sabotage—negative self-talk, judge, blame, shame, punish yourself
Self-doubt, low self-worth, self-esteem, feeling not good enough
Perfectionism
Needy, clingy, jealous
You only have “conditional” love for yourself
Comparison and competition with others
Struggle with self-trust, decision making, belief in yourself
Codependency—you enable and put others first
Inner conflict— never feeling settled, at peace
